There's not really one single person I talk to about all problems. Depends on what the problem is about. Also, even if I added all my close confidants together, they wouldn't collectively know the entirety of my problems. Some things I keep to myself completely. I have two friends who I tell most things, one I have known for 24 years, the other I have known for 16 years. I also talk to my mom about problems, depending on what they are.
I don't think it's strange to not confide your problems in others. In fact, I think it's becoming increasingly normal to not make close bonds with others and to live relationships on the surface for the most part. I don't think it's a good thing though. It's terrible to not trust anyone. But I know how you feel and I protect myself a lot too.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
